THE NATIVITY

Where is Jesus born today?

Not in Bethlehem far away;

Not where shepherds wondering stand
With their flocks in David’s land;

He is born within thy breast
When thou doest God’s behest.

When there falls the mourner’s tear;
When faith triumphs over fear;

When thou choosest for thy part
Purity of life and heart;

When thou leavest every sin,

Then is Jesus born within.

Where is felt another’s woe:

Where for love of Christ we go;

Where we suffer with the weak;

Where the least or lost we seek;

Where we soothe another’s pain;

There is Jesus born again. — Anon.

A Practical Idea In England

Said the Rev. Bryan Green of Christ
Church, London, in the middle of a
recent sermon. “I shall pause for a
half a minute. If any member of the
congregation wishes to cough, move
his feet or change position in the pew,
this is the opportunity.” That blandly
pious practicality of the British is the
comment of TIME.

THE CHURCH’S TEACHING
CONCERNING THE INCARNATION
OF OUR LORD

This is set forth in the decrees of the
first four General Councils of the
Church:

The Council of Nicaa in 325 taught
the Eternal Deity of Jesus Christ, that
He is truly God.

The Council of Constantinople in
381 taught the Perfect Humanity of
Jesus Christ, that He is perfectly
Man.

The Council of Ephesus in 431 taught
that Jesus Christ is One Person, God
and Man indivisibly.

The Council of Chalcedon in 451
taught that Jesus Christ has Two Na-
tures, God and Man distinctively.

We must remember that around the
| Person of our Lord Jesus Christ four
I great battles have been fought by the
Church, one against the Arians, who
denied the Deity of Christ. (The
i Council of Nicea, 325) ; one against the
! Apollinarians, who maimed His man-
j hood (The Council of Constantinople,
j 381) ; one against the Nestorians who
I divided Him into two Persons (The
Council of Ephesus, 431) ; and one
against the Eutychious, who con-
founded in His Person those natures
which should be distinguished (The
Council of Chalcedon, 451). The
Church’s victories, as Hooker has
pointed out, may be set forth by four
words.

A CHRISTMAS PRAYER

“O Blessed Lord Jesus, give us
thankful hearts to-day for Thee, our
choicest gift, our dearest guest.

“Let not our souls be busy inns that
have no room for Thee and Thine, but
quiet homes of prayer and praise where
Thou mayst find fit company, where
the needful cares of life are wisely
ordered and put away, and wide sweet
spaces kept for Thee, where holy
thoughts pass up and down, and fer-
vent longings watch and wait Thy
coming.

“So when Thou comest again, O
blessed One, mayst Thou find all
things ready, and Thy servants wait-
ing for no new master but for one long
loved and known.

“Even so come Lord Jesus.— Amen.’

— The Cathedral Church of St. Paul.

Bishop Torok
Received in Church

Bishop John Torok was received as a
bishop in the Church by Bishop Frank
E. Wilson of Eau Claire, at a ceremony
in Christ Church Cathedral, Eau
Claire, Wisconsin, on November 17,
Eleven years ago Bishop Torok was
consecrated a bishop in Vienna, ac-
cording to the Eastern Orthodox rite.
Prior to his consecration he had been
ordained to the Roman priesthood as
a Uniat priest and was received as a
priest in the Church by the Bishop of
Maryland in 1921. For nearly two
years the whole situation had been
carefully examined by two separate
committees, reporting first to the com-
mission on ecclesiastical relations and
second to the house of bishops. Bish-
op Torok will perform regular episco-
pal functions as assistant to Bishop
Wilson, and will live in Eau Claire.

Kagawa maintains that Christianity
has produced seven great changes in
Japan :

1. Home life has hanged:: concubin-
age is dying out, prostitution is gradu-
ally being abolished, divorce is decreas-
ing, children and women are being re-
spected.

2. Respect for labor.

3. Increase in democracy.

4. People represented in Parliament.

5. Respect for life; suicides are de-
creasing.

6. Respect for formerly despised oc-
cupations: butchers, fertilizer dealers,
etc.

7. Philanthrophy : “Even Buddhist

are imitating us.”

One of the Clergy of
Niobrara Deanery writes

I had a mighty pleasant thing hap-
pen at One of my chapels, which I
think would be good material for the
Anpao. Here it is:

There is a young married man, a full
blood of some 30 years of age, and he
has three children. For the past sev-
eral years he has been unable to raise
anything on a low piece of land that
he owns near the chapel. Last year
he said that in the spring he was go-
ing to plant corn there, and that if
anything in the way of a profit result-
ed, he would give it to the Church. He

THE ADVENTURE OF
DISCIPLESHIP

By The Rt. Rev. Henry W. Hobson,
D. D., Bishop of Southern Ohio;
Chairman, Forward Movement Com-
mission. Broadcast October 20, 1935,
of the Episcopal Church of the Air.

A policeman, who was also a philo-
sopher, called out to a crowd which
was milling around, blocking traffic,
and getting nowhere. “If you want to
stand here, you’ll have to move on.”
It was this order which was given to
the Episcopal Church when the com-
mand “Forward March” was issued,
and a commission on the Forward
Movement was appointed just a year
ago today. We faced a Church mem-
bership many of whom were “milling
around, blocking traffic and getting
nowhere.”

Last February when I spoke on the
Forward Movement at one of the
Church of the Air services, I asked
some of you to join me in looking hon-
estly at the rather tragic conditions
which existed in certain aspects of our
Church’s life and work. I shall not
take any time today to consider again
the situation which made a Forward
Movement imperative. It is enough to
say that the loyal members of the
Church, deeply concerned about what
they saw, and yearning to have the
Church stand more rmly in the life of
the individual and the life of the world,
cried out — “If you wan to stand here
you’ll have to move on.” It was a cry
of agony — yes, because it hurt griev-
ously to see the Church missing great
opportunities. It was a cry of long-
ing — yes, because the world’s need for
the Gospel of Christ was so appalling.
It was a cry of courage — yes, because
there were many eager and ready to
go forth, not counting the cost, in the
Church’s warfare. It was a cry of

duly planted and raised corn, and it
yielded about 30 bushels. So one day | faith — yes, above all else, because it
recently he walked into the house of |was founded on an unswerving convic-
the Helper and his wife, and handed -tion that it is God’s purpose that the
them a check for $12.40, telling them Church shall proclaim the Gospel of
that was what he had promised to do. Christ with new power in our day, and
He could well have used that money that He will give us the strength of

the Master. We have been challenged
to put aside all compromise, to have
done with the dishonest practice of
watering-down, and to ask with cour-
age — “What must I do to prove my
Discipleship?”

The story of the response which has
come during the past nine months to
this call to renewal is an amazing one.
Bishop Stires of Long Island expressed
what many who have been watching
closely have felt when he said to me
recently, “The influence and results of
the Forward Movement have gone far,
far beyond our hopes and expectations
of a year ago.” A new power is com-
ing into the Church. Even though we
realize full that only a beginning has
been made, yet what has happened to
those individuals and in those places
where the Forward Movement has been
given the right of way is truly a mir-
acle. And it’s a miracle which is com-
ing not as the result of any new pro-
gram set forth by a small group of
men, for the Commission on the For-
ward Movement has resisted the temp-

Disciples of Christ to His call — “Follow
me,” and we can be dead certain that
this does not mean to follow Him in a
retreat, or to go around in a circle, but
it demands that we move on — that we
go forth as Disciples to share in His
advance. Therefore, in this present
Forward Movement “Loyal Disciple-
ship” has been the rallying cry calling
members to renew their allegiance to
